Reviewing the concepts of space and tourism industry, tourism is in an old, deep,
unbreakable bound with spatial and physical dimensions. In this way, the lack of
systematic and scientific ranking process in spatial locating of rural tourism spots and
also improper distribution of infrastructures are the critical deficiencies in this field.
The research intends to introduce the hidden potentials and unique capabilities of Khur
and Biabanak County, Iran. And prioritize their tourism spots. So tourism planners
would be able to recognize proper space distribution. First, the weights of each
criterion were calculated by a pairwise comparison questionnaire of AHP method, and
MAPPAC technique was used for ranking. AHP was done in Expert Choice software and
MAPPAC in MS Excel. Results showed that villages such as Bayaze, Jandagh, Mehrejan,
Garmeh, and Iraj which are also older have a higher rank.
